Nicky Cornell - The French Furniture Specialists

Frequently Asked Questions

What products are in your showroom?

We have a selection of products from most ranges on display in the showroom, this is to give you mainly an idea of the colour and finish of the furniture, however if there is a particular piece or range you would like to view please call first to see if its in.

I've seen your furniture cheaper on another website will you price match?

Yes we will price match against certain companies/websites but not all.

Why some, not all?

Furniture is a fragile commodity, if handled carelessly it can damage easily, so therefore some compainies are cheap but will have a very strict damages/returns policy. Some will even make you arrrange and pay for your own return delivery. Some will send items to you by pallet doorstep drop-off, some will have a premium rate contact number. So check very carefully before you buy.

So how do you differ?

We use our own vans where possible and therefore our own personnel who will be careful, courteous and proffessional. In most cases we will also take away all packaging free of charge as well. Remember - If you have a problem, we will solve it.

So why should I buy from Nicky Cornell?

Well. we may not be the cheapest but we are the best at what we do.

How much do you charge for delivery?

Delivery is free for orders of £50 or under. For orders over £50, delivery is £24.99 for a 2 man crew, delivered to your room of choice. This charge is per order, this means however much you order the price stays the same!

Are your products fully assembled?

Most items in our ranges arrive fully assembled, however beds, flat-packed armoires and dining tables do not. If you require these items to be assembled there will be an additional charge of £19 for beds and tables and £39 for Armoires and wardrobes.

If you require the assembly service please be sure to mention this at point of order - If assembly is not on your paperwork your items will not be assembled.

I notice your Armoires/Wardrobes come available as flatpack, how does this work?

Well, the Armoires/Wardrobes come into our warehouse fully assembled. We then dismantle them, deliver and we re-assemble the item in your home. It means that theres no need to worry about tight access or an akward staircase.

So is there a charge for this service?

Yes, theres considerable work in it for us, so we charge a very reasonable £40 per wardrobe/Armoire.

How is it that some Armoires are available shorter?

We have a system whereby we can adjust the size of the top carving, which can shorten the overall height by as little as 50mm/1 inch or as much as 180mm/7 inches.

Is there a charge for this?

If you need the top reduced by the full amount then the shorter version is slightly more expensive, however if you just need an inch or so let us know at point of order and we will do this for free.

What does Armoire mean anyway?

Its French for Cupboard or Wardrobe.

If I buy something but dont like it, can I send it back?

You can, but there will be a restocking fee of 20% although this can sometimes be waived if the goods are exchanged for something else.

You seem to be able to offer quicker delivery times than some of your competitors, why is this?

We handle large quantities of our furniture, lighting and accessories, we have regular weekly deliveries from the manufacturers as well as our own direct containers so we can carry stocks of some items in our own warehouse, some ranges are usually available for collection within 7 days or 14 days for home delivery.

So I can collect myself?

Of course, larger items can be collected from our warehouse once we have checked them and smaller items can be collected from the shop, please call to arrange this first though. This can also cut lead times by as much as 3 weeks as you dont have to wait for a delivery slot to become available.

Nicky Cornell Oak Furniture completes the shopping experience with over 24 ranges of Oak furniture to choose from, Rustic Oak for a more classic, farmhouse style and Modern Oak for the newer, more contemporary feel. We have a selection of Furniture to suit all tastes and homes. See our Modern Oak Furniture ranges including the  Brooklyn oak Solid Oak Furniture Range, which we call Eton Modern Oak, the most popular Oak range of furniture in the UK. This range offers a light Oak colour finish and clean crisp lines with contemporary chrome handles. Other Modern Natural Oak ranges include the Ramsey Oak range, with its chunky block style, or the Henley Oak range with its cut out legs and panel features. The Newbury Modern Oak is a dark wood range and provides a clean, modern feel to any room. See our Rustic Oak Furniture ranges which include a favourite, the Hanbury Rustic Oak Range. This collection has a natural finish and emphasis on the grain of the Oak, with unusual drum shaped items in the range. The London Rustic Natural Oak collection is another popular and beautiful range, where the finish plays with the contrast of natural colours in the oak.  We use over 7 different Oak Furniture suppliers supplying the best furniture that the market has to offer. Our ranges include Solid Oak Wardrobes, Oak Chests of Drawers and Oak Bedside cabinets. We also stock many popular Oak Dining Tables, Oak Hall Tables and Oak Dining Chairs which vary from contemporary sleek shapes for the new, modern home, to the more rustic, farmhouse pieces, suited to a more period style home. All of our oak furniture ranges come fully assembled, apart from the beds for obvious reasons and the larger Oak wardrobes. These can be assembled upon delivery if requested, in the room of your choice, and takes all the stress and hassle of trying to put furniture together yourself when you'd rather just sleep on your new bed or clear your clothes away into your new wardrobe. Sure worth the small assembly fee. We have a range of Oak furniture to suit all tastes and all budgets, with a few pieces from some of the ranges on display in our new Oak showroom in Hertfordshire. Please call us to check if the item you are interested in is on display, to avoid disappointment. We like to keep the showroom fresh and up to date with new items and can change the display around on a regular basis. We are proud of our Oak furniture ranges as they are of the best quality and built to last. Nicky Cornell Oak Furniture is hard wearing and makes for great classic additions to family homes where they are being used on a daily basis. Or perhaps as a sleek feature in a modern professional flat, giving it a warm feeling of home. There is a range for everyone at Nicky Cornell.
